 My Information
Comments:

Wow these fish are really difficult to take pictures of as they come out even less than my Zebra Plec :-(

Still when they do they swim just like Sharks. This was the main reason for me buying them, as soon as I saw them I thought they would be great for my tank.

They like to stick together but occasionally one will swim to the other end of the tank away from my bogwood plant and swim around the filter.

Other pictures: Havent managed any others as yet.
